Let the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) complete their investigations. Then call on us if you find any public officer culpable. We shall be there to support you in impeaching anybody who will be found culpable after credible investigations. My friend, Hon. Jack Wamboka these political things from newspaper cuttings fall flat. I beg you this early to withdraw your Motion and save yourself from embarrassment. This is why the Constitution puts a very high threshold."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Motion on impeachment of Hon. Mithika Linturi as Cabinet Secretary of Agriculture and Livestock Development. I support it not because I represent farmers in Nyaribari Masaba neither that my mother is a victim of the fake fertiliser scam nor that I am a farmer. But I feel there is a moral obligation that I am faced with as a Member of Parliament and a leader in this country. When the fake fertiliser scam came up, Hon. Linturi went to the media and denied the existence of any fake fertiliser. After that, he blamed the opposition and called us saboteurs. Later on, the Deputy President confirmed that indeed there was existence of fake fertiliser in the market whereupon Hon. Linturi confirmed himself. Depending on who was speaking at the time, the number of bags kept changing between 3,000 and 50,000. Hon. Linturi has served in the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development for about two years. We have not had any major transformative ideas from him to make agriculture grow given that it is the backbone of our country. I want to agree with the Leader of the Minority Party that we should not have gotten to this point. Given, that the President himself even as late as yesterday, told the nation he is not here to make popular decisions. We expect him, now that he has set the standards and has a marking scheme, to act immediately if this House does not get Hon. Linturi out."

"content": "Looking at the evidence before us today and listening to the submission by Hon. members, it is very obvious that right from the procurement, manufacture, distribution, warehousing and eventual delivery of the fertiliser, Hon. Linturi’s hands and feet are all over these documents. There is sufficient evidence to send him home. My plea to my friends, especially Hon. Members of Parliament from areas that practice agriculture, is to put aside our party positions and look at this as a critical national agenda and support the removal of Hon. Mithika Linturi as the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture and Livestock Development, on the basis of his incompetence and lack of collective responsibility."

To our children who are watching television today, if your teacher asks you the definition of incompetence, tell him it is Hon. Mithika Linturi. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
